【New】LOUIS VUITTON MARC JACOBS

This fascinating publication introduces the roles played by two men who transformed a small 19th-century Parisian workshop into one of the world's most successful and widely recognized brands.

Known for both its craftsmanship and high-design desirability, the luxury house "Louis Vuitton" was born in 1854 by its namesake founder.

The first half of this book traces Vuitton's innovative trajectory. He evolved the then-little-known guild profession of "emballeur" (packer and trunk maker) into a top-tier luxury trunk maker in Paris. His clientele included the French aristocracy and the flourishing "elites of the empire" of the time.

This first half of the book showcases Vuitton's craftsmanship with a collection of exquisite, never-before-seen masterpieces and the clothing of the era stored within them.

The second half examines the role of Marc Jacobs, who has been the creative director of "Louis Vuitton" since 1997.

Through "collaborative artwork" with designers and artists such as Richard Prince, Stephen Sprouse, and Takashi Murakami, he led "Louis Vuitton" into a new era. He also designed highly successful and coveted clothing lines for the company.

By examining the two careers, separated by 100 years but with many similarities, readers can enjoy the evolution of the luxury brand over the past 150 years.
